Unhappy Ahhh had the car 1 week!!

Had my x for one week and already a broken fog light and rock chips on the fender due to errant rocks on the cross Bronx ... Anyone know how to fix rock chips?

if you want done right then u gotta repaint it... touch up paint is a waste of time IMO... I own a bodyshop in NJ and we work on evos all day long so let me know if you need help!

How much do you get for a repaint and clear bra? You don't really get anything, you have to pay.

Clear bra:

Kinda sucks because I already had gotten 3-4 chips on my bumper before getting it.

Touch up paint can be done so perfectly that you can never tell there was a chip there. It's not easy, but if you're patient, it can be done.... trust me.

yeah, tell Bloomberg about it. I'm sure he will be up there with a DOT crew repaving everything.....


...or just rip it all up and make it another bike lane or pedestrian walkway.
